North Carolina-based Beker & SEE l*ltARY Mel I - 2 Friday, August 4, 2000 The gtitt.ar duo Strunz & Farah has a repertoire of world music they'll share tonight at the Hyatt Newporter If Joyce ScMrw W hen the acoustic guitar duo of Strum & Parah perfon:n, it is a little like a mini United Nations. First, there is the Costa Rican Jorge Strum and the Iranian Ardeshir Parah, whose blend ol intri- cate Latin/Mlddle Eastern style with Afro/CUban rhythms has resulted in a Grammy nomination and other international honoB: And, whether they are recording an album or per- forming live, their ensemble can indude musicians from Greece, Cuba, Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Iran, Africa and the United States. •My mother was a big fat) of Latin music so I was exposed to it at an early age,• said Farah, who came to the United States in the late 1970s to attend college. ·ni~ is a Jot of interest in Latin music in Iran because the beat and harmony is something both our cultures share.• Local fans will be able to hear the duo's rich, original Spanish gypsy guitar sounds when they perf onn Fri- day at the Hyatt Newporter Amphitheater in Newport Beach. The 7:30 p.m. concert will also fea- ture percussionist Poncho San~ez. Though the Los Angeles-based Strum & Farah, who formed their musical friendship 20 years ago, grew up continents apart, it seems their partnership was destined from the time they both picked up guitars. •My unde in Costa Rica bought • me a guitar when I was 6 years old," Strum said. •1t wasn't really a toy, but not a full-fledged instrument I got my first real one when I was about 12 and the obsession with the instrument has never stopped." Farah was no ~erent. He, too, was about 11 when he received his · first guitar. However, he said his very first instrument was an accordion. which he gave up after •battling with it for two years." •we bad a lot of pop music enter- tainment from abroad because most of the Iranian music was ethnic, clas- sic4.l sounds,• he said. •So we looked abroad for our music which, for me, were the Beatles, Stones and, of course, Jimi Hendrix.• Another similarity shared by the men is lhey are both primarily self- taught. Strunz, whose father was a United States diplomat. spent much of his youth traveling throughout the world. His mother, who always spoke to him in Spanish, and his fathe.r, who always communicated in Eng- lish, gave him a good understanding of both languages. He said ~ moth- er's collection of records, which fea- tured the flamenco music of such stylists as Carlos Montoya and Sabi- cas, were his teaching tools. "I would tape the music at half speed, which brought it down a full octave, and just sit and listen to it,• he said. "I was very self-motivated to learn all I could I knew from a young age I wanted to play mu.sic, but my parents, not familiar with that world, were con- cerned for me professionally. They. concon-- vin<m me to go to ~et.own Univer- sity where I majored in linguistics and Portuguese Spanish literature.• Farah, too, bad been introduced to flamenco music as a youth, and he said, ·It sat in my brain as a high form of guitar playing. "I always admired the passion, technique and virtuosity of flamenco music and how all the elements were combined," he said. And like Strunz, Farah knew music would be part of his future, but he, too, needed to make a few scholastic detours. When he was 14, he attended school in England. •nie real reason I wanted to study in England was"that it would bring · me closer to the music scene,• be said. •So during the day I would go to school and at night I would be checking out the music.• And both musicians went through their rock 'n' roll period, playing with an assortment of bands. Ironically, Farah's teen band was called Batmen and Strum's Hangmen. Though they were still living on different sides of the world, their music interests were moving in a similar path: Both had been drawn to the jazz fusion movement, a blend of rock, jazz, Latin and funk. . By 1979, Strunz was in a jazz fusion band, touring and recording for Capital music. And it was during this time he made a career-altering deci- sion to stash his electric guitar and .. o..MniDIY .. concentrate on the acoustic guitar. •Tue Afro/Latin music from my childhood was still echoing in my mind,• be said. •1 decided to look for someone whQ could play guitar with me.• And by 1979, Parah. who had just graduated from USC, macje the deci- llon to stay permanently in the Unit- ed States. It was then the two musi- cians aossed paths after Parah stopped at a Hollywood club where Strunz's band was playing. •1 was totally amazect 6ow he played the guitar," Parah sakL Mean- while, Strum was still searching for his perfect guitar matcb., not realizing he would "soon be introduced to Parah through a mutual friend. And when that meeting happened, Parah WU •too shy• and in awe of Stnmz to even bring along his own guitar. •we talked for a lon~ time then picked up two of Jorge s guitars and started to jam,• Farah recalled. •we reali%ed there was a chemistry .and similar interests in the ultimate tecb.niques .• Strum. who bad not set out to find an etbDic guitar ~yer, said Farah was totally in sync with him on the acoustic guitar.

In addition. Strum has received two Presidential awards from the Costa Rica government for bis cultural achievements. And, according to both musicians, who thrive on the skill required of their complex playing, they are excit- ed about what lies ahead. •nie possibilities of playing differ- ent types of music on the guitar are really endll!ss, •said Parah. ~ ..... ,_ TOIWI Antlow CHECI IT OUT , For menta,l aerobics, try notetporthy nonfiction For times when tbo6e bndn ~aave~. . can provide a Ndsfying altemattve to e9C8pist fare.

AftchwGlanr DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA - A home- owner who sued the city to halt a planned shopping center reasserted this week that he believes the Oty Council has intentionally shielded the pro- ject from public sautiny. Mayor Gary Mnnaban and City Manager Allan Roeder have repeatedly denied the charges and pointed out that the project. which initially com· plied with city codes, never required a public hearing. Since the City Council affirmed the Planning CoIDJnis· sion's approval of the 'Turget Greatlands store in April. devel- oper James J. Theusch has made mtnor changes to the plans for the 770,000-square· foot Harbor Boulevard site. The changes may not be extreme, admitted Al Morelli, who has appealed the project several times to both the Plan· ning Commission and City Council But he asserted Wednesday the d:um9es should be subject to public bearings. ·Par dDe tbe changes might be ligntftcant. f« others insignif-, , tcant,• Mid the outspoken .. ~, Morelli. •aut tt't a change.

Friday, August .(, 2000 5 Man gets 15 years in: prison for involvement in fatal drug lab blast A Costa Mesa man was sentenced to 15 years and four months in state prison Wednesday for his role in a drug lab explosion that killed a teenager in Hunt- ington Park. Jorge Chavez, 24, also known as Juan Sandoval, was sentenced in Los Angeles Superior Co?-11 for renting a Ma.rbnsa Avenue apartment in which a methampheta- mine lab exploded May 17. The accident fatally burned 17-year-old Mar- cos Perez, who was in the apartment at the time. Last month, Chavez pleaded guilty to volun- tary manslaughter and two drug charges. The Los Angeles Coun- ty District Attorney's Office had originally charged Chavez with sec- ond-degree murder, but later dropped the charge. ·111e jury would 11urely be aware that [Perez) was involved in the manufac- ture of methampbeta- mine, and as such they may not wish to attribute his death to Mr. Chavez,• said Antony Myers, a deputy district attorney. Chavez was arrested one day after the lab explosion when police dis- covered that bis name was on the lease of the Hunt- ington Park apartment. In their search of his Con- gress Street home in Costa Mesa. police recovered seven rifles, shotguns and other evidence. The Huntington Park apartment was seriously damaged in the explosion, which blew off its roof and broke windows on neigh- boring units. • -Alex Coolman •• t 111 I • . . ' •, .. BUFFA CONTINUED FROM 1 Newport-Mesa drivers slog- ging their way northbound on the 405 have whispered a simple prayer for years: •p1ease, just let me reach the 55 southbound. I'm begging you.• But now -with the transi- tion road to the 55 south reduced to a concrete-lined laundry chute -the thrlll is gone. A depressingly long line for the 55 slows to a crawl and stretches back to somewhere south of San Onofre by late afternoon. And therein lies a common ethical dilemma for the typical free- way gladiator. You know how it works. Whether you're on your way to an Angels game on a bot August night, or South Coast Plaza on Christmas Eve. your heart sinks when you see the line of cars at your exit: Entire states on the GuJf Coast have been evacuated during hurri- cane season with shorter lines. What to do, what to do? The choice is intensely personal. and a matter of ethics: A) Do I take my place in this snaJceUke caravan like an honest, law-abiding citizen? B) Do I trick my way into line way up front and hope the guy behind me isn't anned? The correct answer is ·a.• Uke the Wicked Witch said, however, these thinqs must be handled delicately, my pretty ... delicately. The amateurs cr~wl along in the next lane, blinkers blinking, constantly glancing over their shoulders with the look of a lost puppy, virtually begging for someone to let them in line. It's pathetic. The person in the passenger seat lowers their window and extends their arm in a plead- ing gesture: •Please. Can we cuf in? We're losers.• Oy. Is a smidgen of self- esteem so much to ask? · Any experienced freeway fighter knows the three keys to line-crashing: never stop moving, look without looking, see without seeing.

CONTINUED FROM 1 Most remarkable for Orange County, said Alex Helperin, project attorney with the council, was the con- trast between 1998, when El Nlfto we~ther patterns brought heavy rains, and 1999, which was unusually dry. Despite the difference in rainfall, the report concluded, oounty beach closures actual- ly increased. •What the numbers say to us is that this problem is not going away, and we need to do something about that,• Helperin said. • At least two factors proba- bly contributed to the study's results, Helperin said. One has to do with the behavior of urban runoff, which is suspected as the cause of 73% of county beach closures. Though runoff may be car- ried to the ocean by rainfall, Helperin said the report's numbers suggest that even min.lmal preCipitation can muck up the coast as effec- tively as a IJ'!Ore massive del- uge. •1t doesn't take too much rain to wash the stuff down,• Helperin said. ·we may be seeing that you get the same sorts of effect (with slight rains) .• Also clearly a factor affect- -.. .. ing the report's numbers for California is Assembly Bill 411, which put into place stricter standards for posting and closing beaches starting in the summer of 1999. The bill. county health care offidals have said, is making once-acceptable levels of con- tamination show up as prob- lem areas. But Bob Caustl.n, founding director of the Newport Beach environmental organization Defend the Bay, said that is no reason to dismiss the report as a statistical aberration. ·The more we look, the more problems we see,• be said. •The question is, what are we going to do about it?" Coming to grips with the issue raised by the study will be challenging, Caustl.n said. •When you're trying to track down a source for, say, the Rhine Channel, that's one thing,• he said. •But there's 154 square miles of watershed that have to be worked with.• Freedom From: WEIGHT PROBLEMS EATING DISORDERS ADDICTIONS DEPRESSION Affordable, Confidential Professional Help • Former Betty Ford Center Clinician • Director of Drug & Alcohol Treatment • Author of Gift• of Sobriety & other self help books Call for info: Barbara Cole, Mn (714) 429-0888 1, t I I '• I ti t I • ·SUMMER CONTINUED FROM 1 The frozen, chocolaty treat apparently was invented at the peninsula's Pun Zme in the late 1930s.
